The Sunday Times | South Asian Artist Residency programme adds colour to KALĀ
January 26, 2025
In February, KALĀ, a platform devoted to presenting South Asian modern and contemporary art, will host its much awaited second edition.
This year’s edition holds special significance as it marks the 75th anniversary of the University of Visual and Performing Arts (UVPA), Colombo. The UVPA has been instrumental in forming Sri Lanka’s creative identity since its founding in 1893. J.D.A. Perera, Stanley Abeysinghe, David Paynter and Tissa Ranasinghe are among the early visionaries honoured by KALĀ, whose work established the groundwork for Sri Lanka’s contemporary art movements.
